Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Cudgelling Match Between English And French Negroes In The Island Of Dominica by Augustin Brunias was sold in the Travel, Science and Natural History auction at Christies in London in April 2013. The price achieved of GBP 49,875.00 (€ 58,855.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Augustin Brunias - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Free Women Of Dominica Bathing In A Stream; Free Women Of Dominica; A Young Couple And Child Promenading, Dominica; Flower Girls Of Dominica; Free Women Of Dominica With Child; And A Native Family Of St. Vincent, which sold at auction in June last year for USD 214,200.00 (€ 204,604.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Cudgelling Match Between English And French Negroes In The Island Of Dominica von Augustin Brunias wurde im April 2013 in der Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 49.875,00 (€ 58.855,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Augustin Brunias mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Free Women Of Dominica Bathing In A Stream; Free Women Of Dominica; A Young Couple And Child Promenading, Dominica; Flower Girls Of Dominica; Free Women Of Dominica With Child; And A Native Family Of St. Vincent beobachtet, die im Juni letzten Jahres für USD 214.200,00 (€ 204.604,07) versteigert wurde.
